Crestron TPMC-CH-IMC CAT5 Balanced AV Interface Module

CAT5 Balanced AV Interface

Module: TPMC-CH-IMC

Introduction

Features and Functions

The TPMC-CH-IMC is an audio/video interface module that is included

as standard with many Isys

touchpanels that utilize Crestron Home

(CH) CAT5 AV connectivity. The interface module can connect to the

touchpanel using a “triamese” interface cable (included with tilt model

touchpanels) or using CresCAT-IM (or D) cable (sold separately).

Installed neatly out of view near the touchpanel or mounted remotely in

the central equipment cabinet, the TPMC-CH-IMC provides connections

for Cresnet

, bidirectional audio and one video input signal. The

balanced CAT5 AV outputs support cable runs up to 300 feet (90 meters)

(observe distance limitations based upon power consumption for the

touchpanel in use).

Additional interface modules may be purchased and installed to facilitate

connectivity for a single movable touchpanel at multiple locations. The

TPMC-CH-IMC can also be used as a CAT5 balanced AV interface for

use with other Crestron

CAT5 AV products.

NOTE: The TPMC-CH-IMC is not compatible with QuickMedia

10-pin RJ-45 based systems.

Setup

Network Wiring

When wiring the Cresnet network, consider the following:

• Use Crestron Certified Wire.

• Use Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.

• Provide sufficient power to the system.

CAUTION: Insufficient power can lead to unpredictable results

or damage to the equipment. Please use the Crestron Power

Calculator to help calculate how much power is needed for the

system (www.crestron.com/calculators

• For networks with 20 or more devices, use a Cresnet Hub/Repeater

(CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality.

For more details, refer to “Check Network Wiring” which starts on page

13.

CAT5 Wiring

Category 5 (CAT5) wiring is a twisted pair cable designed for Ethernet

networks. These networks operate at speeds of up to 100 Megabits per

second (Mbps) using the 100BASE-T standard. Crestron takes advantage

of this specification for a variety of audio and video applications.

Crestron recommends using CresCAT-IM (or D) wire for transmitting

video signals from the VIDEO (TO PANEL) port.

When using a Crestron wiring solution, the CresCAT-IM (or D) wire can

carry audio and video signals up to 500 feet (observe distance limitations

based upon power consumption for the device in use).

For more information, refer to the latest version of the Crestron CAT5

Wiring Reference Guide (Doc. 6137), which is available for download

from the Crestron website (www.crestron.com/manuals

Check Network Wiring

Use the Right

Wire

In order to ensure optimum performance over the full range of your

installation topology, Crestron Certified Wire and only Crestron Certified

Wire may be used. Failure to do so may incur additional charges if

support is required to identify performance deficiencies because of using

improper wire.

Calculate

Power

CAUTION: Use only Crestron power supplies for Crestron equipment.

Failure to do so could cause equipment damage or void the Crestron

warranty.

CAUTION: Provide sufficient power to the system. Insufficient power

can lead to unpredictable results or damage to the equipment. Please use

the Crestron Power Calculator to help calculate how much power is

needed for the system (www.crestron.com/calculators).

When calculating the length of wire for a particular Cresnet run, the wire

gauge and the Cresnet power usage of each network unit to be connected

must be taken into consideration. Use Crestron Certified Wire only. If

Cresnet units are to be daisy-chained on the run, the Cresnet power usage

of each network unit to be daisy-chained must be added together to

determine the Cresnet power usage of the entire chain. If the unit is

home-run from a Crestron system power supply network port, the

Cresnet power usage of that unit is the Cresnet power usage of the entire

run. The wire gauge and the Cresnet power usage of the run should be

used in the following equation to calculate the cable length value on the

equation’s left side.

Cable Length Equation

L = Length of run (or chain) in feet

R = 6 Ohms (Crestron Certified Wire: 18 AWG (0.75 MM ))

or 1.6 Ohms (Cresnet HP: 12 AWG (4 MM ))

P = Cresnet power usage of entire run (or chain)

L <

40,000

R x P

Where:

Make sure the cable length value is less than the value calculated on the

right side of the equation. For example, a Cresnet run using 18 AWG

Crestron Certified Wire and drawing 20 watts should not have a length of

run more than 333 feet (101 meters). If Cresnet HP is used for the same

run, its length could extend to 1250 feet.

Operations Guide – DOC. 6345A CAT5 Balanced AV Interface Module: TPMC-CH-IMC • 13

CAT5 Balanced AV Interface Module Crestron TPMC-CH-IMC

NOTE: All Crestron certified Cresnet wiring must consist of two

twisted pairs. One twisted pair is the +24V conductor and the GND

conductor and the other twisted pair is the Y conductor and the Z

conductor.

Strip and Tin

Wire

When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully

to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that

share a pin on the network connector and tin the twisted connection.

Apply solder only to the ends of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far

up the wires or the end becomes brittle. Insert the tinned connection into

the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining screw. Repeat the

procedure for the other three conductors.

Add Hubs

Use of a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) is advised whenever the

number of Cresnet devices on a network exceeds 20 or when the

combined total length of Cresnet cable exceeds 3000 feet (914 meters).
